- Two-bedroom first-floor flat, bright living room
- Rear lawned garden and nearby garage in block
- Baxi boiler three years old; double glazing present
- EPC rating C; council tax band A (very cheap)
- Short lease: 37 years remaining — likely mortgage refusal
- Ground rent nominal at £8 per year
- Built 1950–1966; cavity walls likely uninsulated
- Area records very high crime rates
Light, well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat in a mature Cramlington neighbourhood, set close to Manor Walks shopping centre and bus routes. The living room is bright and spacious and the kitchen and bathroom are functional; a recently replaced Baxi boiler (three years old) and double glazing help reduce running costs. Outside there is a rear lawned garden with mature trees and a nearby garage in a block.
This property is offered with only 37 years remaining on the lease. That short term is the primary drawback: many mortgage lenders are likely to refuse a mortgage, so the flat is realistically suitable for cash buyers or a buyer prepared to arrange specialist lending. Ground rent is nominal at £8 per year and council tax band A is very cheap.
The flat has straightforward renovation potential — cavity walls likely lack insulation and some interior fittings date from the 1970s — so there is scope to add value through targeted upgrades. Note the area records very high crime rates, which will matter to buyers prioritising security, although local amenities, good primary and secondary schools and fast broadband are positives for daily life.
